vintage longboarding miki dora at malibu

Classic vintage longboarding Miki Dora at Malibu
Of all the surfers of the Sixties, Micki Dora was, by far, the most notorious. Dora had started making a name for himself in the Southern California surfing scene of the "Pre-Gidget Era," in the mid-1950s. By 1957, he was already well-known throughout the surfing world. As champion surfer and fellow Malibu rider Mike Doyle reminds us: "the unrivaled king of Malibu in those days was Mickey Dora, 'Da Cat.'" The way Dora rode was widely emulated and his attitude toward the commercialization of the sport was eventually shared by many of us. Dora was extremely influential throughout the 1960s and 1970s. His "legend" continues on, despite his death in January 2002. And, although less so than in those days of yore, the Dora mystique continues to effect surf culture -- more so than we know or some would care to admit.

Yea this is from a somewhat lame but interesting series that was on espn2 at some time with Corky Caroll.Miki is becoming to surfing like what Rod Laver has become to young tennis players.They know he did something like there's something they did but can't remember.I remember because it was Miki and the myth-Legend that motivated me to start surfing back in 64.
